  • School Life Readiness: Boy Edition

    Funded Jan 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for making this great project come to life.

    My dream has always been to supply my students with everything that will make their learning day enjoyable, from pencils to undergarments. To be able to learn in a classroom, students need to feel comfortable in their skin which means wearing clothes that fit them well. Some people don't think about that aspect of a student's life but accidents happen even in the middle school years.

    A change of clothes may be needed for so many different reasons. Whatever my students are going through that requires a change of clothes, I would like to support them the best I can.

    Thank you for such a great gift. My students will appreciate it when the moment comes.”

  • Clean Mouths = Brighter Smiles

    Funded Jan 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for supporting this project!

    We have so many families that are new to the country and currently living in shelters. Some of my students requested basic supplies such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash to attend school without being self-conscious about their body odor.

    We provide our students with the toiletries and necessities to keep learning throughout the day. Once they feel comfortable, they will be more willing to learn.

    Because of amazing donors like you, my students come to school clean and smelling fresh, which boosts their self-confidence.”

  • Rumbling Stomachs

    Funded Jan 10, 2024

    Thank you for helping me bring this project to life. Food is such an important part of our life. I can't stand seeing a student hungry. I want to be able to feed every student who comes through my office. It humbles me to see how others are willing to support our public school students. I am grateful for your donation. 🙌 🧡

    Students drop by my office all the time to ask for a snack. Sometimes, they miss dinner or breakfast because no food is available at home. Since I have a large number of my students in temporary housing, a snack is needed in a classroom or office.

    Having a snack ready at any time helps students get through that day. All students very much appreciate a snack especially after gym class. My growing middle schoolers seem to always be hungry. I always have a snack ready for them either to get them through the day or to replenish their energy for their after-school activities.

    Your generous donations will keep my students satisfied and ready to learn for a while with a smile on their faces.

    Now, I have a bin full of snacks labeled "Snack of the Day". My students love the "Snack of the Day". When they pass by my office, they get so excited to discover what new goodies were added to the bin that day. All of this is possible because of wonderful donors like you.”

  • Feminine Pads

    Funded Jan 4, 2024

    Thank you so much for helping get such important hygienic supplies for my students.

    Many of my students are in temporary housing and their guardians can't afford basic supplies. Having these pads available to the girls makes their school experience a more enjoyable time.

    Girls get their period at random time during the school day. It's an everyday occurrence in middle school. Having these supplies available to the female population helps relieve the stress of the situation.

    Again, a big thank you for making this happen.”

  • Charged and Protected!

    Funded Dec 16, 2023

    My students received their iPads in their boxes from the store. Unfortunately, no protective covers or chargers were given with these iPads. We have so many families that are new to the country and currently living in shelters. These students would like to protect their devices but their parents are not able to afford these accessories.

    With your support, I can provide their school device with the accessories needed to keep their school supplies in good shape.

    Thank you so much for your support.”

  • Guidance Office Supplies!

    Funded Dec 15, 2023

    My students and I are very happy to have these supplies. Students are always in need of pencils and markers. In middle school, my students are still learning to organize their work and bookbags. The label maker will be used to label the supplies available to students in the cabinet so they can grab what they need.

    Students visit my office for a multitude of reasons. My goal is to have any supplies they might need available to them. If I make their school life easier by handing them some basic office supplies then it's the least I can do. Thank you for helping me reach this goal.”

Many of my students get their essays and projects done on google drive directly on their phones or tablets. Unfortunately, most of them do not have a printer at their disposal. They have to rely on either the school library or the public library to be able to print their work/projects. I'm setting up an after-school club where students will get academic help where they can collaborate with their peers and be able to print the result right away. My goal is to show them that their teachers along with their community can help them get on the road to success.
